Chapter 865 (1/2)
Ao Jiang’s tone was arrogant. He grabbed his long knife and immediately led a large troop of soldiers to barricade the entire Eastern City district, blocking all the incoming carriages at the entrance of Meridian Market!
“You mean these are the rebels?” Ao Jiang gave a dismissive look at Da Xiong’s team who was clearing the route, “How dare they think of revolting with only a few people? How reckless of them!”
As Ao Jiang spoke, he raised a single hand and countless archers lifted their bows and arrows!
A dense murderous aura was immediately triggered!
Ao Jiang originally thought that there were only a few rebels so his archers’ arrows would take most of them out!
But he did not expect that before his archers could take action…
A loud boom sounded!
All those archers along with their bows and arrows were blasted into the sky.
The opponent’s speed was extremely fast. With unknown weapons in their hands, thundering bangs could be heard!
Terrifying smoke and ashes permeated everywhere. Those people behaved like they were entering a no man’s land, once they raised their hands they annihilated everything within their sights.
Ao Jiang who thought it was a sure win for him, could not help feeling a little fl.u.s.tered. Looking at the dark figures that were nearing him, he subconsciously dragged a soldier to block his front.
But in the next second, the soldier was shot dead.
Fresh blood was instantly splattered onto his face!
“What are they holding in their hands!” Ao Jiang called out!
Lord Wei, who had experienced several imperial court changes seemed to have seen a ghost at this point. His face turned completely pale as he muttered to himself, “That was the gun, the gun that could only have belonged to the Hidden Army. Why would the Hidden Army be here? The Hidden Army would never appear on its own, unless… unless their master was here too! Helian Wei Wei, Helian Wei Wei is here! No, oh no!” Lord Wei looked at the black cavalry who was gradually taking form in front of his eyes, his lips started trembling violently as he said, “Not just Helian Wei Wei, the, the Third Prince! The Third Prince is back!”
Lord Wei’s mutterings made Ao Jiang’s face turn awfully pale too!
But he still refused to admit his fate, “It is impossible that he could make it back alive, someone must be putting up dramatic pretenses! Grand Tutor, Grand Tutor!”
On the surface, Ao Jiang seemed to be still in disbelief, but his heart had begun to feel tremendous unease. He dragged the Grand Tutor over, “Grand, Grand Tutor! Hurry, hurry up and cast some spells, stop them!”
The Grand Tutor had never seen this side of Ao Jiang.
He met the mighty general, Ao Jiang when he was in Yun Nan.
Ao Jiang had always been fearless, even when he was confronting the Retired Emperor in the palace.
How powerful was this Third Prince that he had the ability to terrify Ao Jiang like that?
Forget it, no matter how strong the opponent was, to him he was merely an ordinary mortal.
The Grand Tutor had no regard for Baili Jia Jue at all. The look in his eyes transformed in an instant and the dust in his hands trembled as he cast a spell into the air.
Vaguely, the air surrounding them appeared to be condensed as the temperature dropped by dozens of degrees all of a sudden!
Something seemed to be floating around the entrance of the market.
Da Xiong who had been enjoying the fight was stunned as he noticed a b.l.o.o.d.y face appearing before him. He took a step backward and when he looked closely again, he felt his back run cold, “Man, what is this!”
The others also felt the uncomfortable chills. They looked at one another, feeling like there was something creepy around them.
Once Ao Jiang saw that his opponents had stopped in their actions, he became lost himself. Then, he looked back at the Grand Tutor with surprise in his eyes, “Grand Tutor is still the skillful one after all!”
“That was just a piece of cake.” The Grand Tutor cast another spell.
